It's the same as the nude photos hacked on the cloud. Are they any safer on

someone else's server than your home computer - which is turned off most of

the time anyhow? Of course, not taking nude photos and putting them

ANYWHERE that isn't encrypted is perhaps a more sensible idea or even... not

taking them at all.

Anything that's in the "cloud" can be hacked. My advice: unless there is an

essential, functional reason that is much more serious than personal

convenience to put something there, don't. You're only asking for trouble.

In the case of passwords: Do you really think it's safer to keep your

passwords on somebody's server that is potentially connected to every person

who has access to a computer on the internet, than to just keep them on a

piece of paper folded up in your wallet? Wallets are "portable" too.

When are people going to stop this magical thinking about computers?
